A Boy's Love For His Rb20

[Roy]

I suspect the TD06L2-20G would be the go. Depends if you are using std or aftermarket manifolds.

I'm using the stock mani but it has a very good welding job done on it and has a collector with a 38ml gate and screamer on it. I have a bleed valve ,z32 afm with big pod,oil catch tank,fmic,full 3inch exhaust, gtr injectors and reststor pack,new yellow jacket coil packs, power FC with controller plus have just scored a aftermarket clutch and lightened flywheel and am thinking of cams and if needed a oil cooler..

I went backwards with Apexi 260/8.8mm cams so removed them after hours on the dyno and some disappointing results from the test drive. They did sound tough though So I would hold off on cams and go with the oil cooler.

The TD06-20G and RB20 will never have the response of some of the other combos, but it will be a reliable grunter able to run 12.2-12.8sec qtr miles so still a respectably quick car. I would prefer it over the other options you have but the real test should be for you to go for a drive or get a steer of a car with a similar setup to see if that's the direction you really want to run.

I have been in a sr with 3071 and did like but that thing needed around 20 psi to start getting on song and I have owned a td05-20g so as i liked the feel of that I decided to go the td06 l2 20g 8cm and went and picked it up yesterday. Will be going in next week,only thing is I'm trying to get a t3 to 3 bolt trust style flange adaptor for my mani as I dont have a grand for greddy or good aftermarket mani..will post up dyno chart next week.

I need to get my R32 back in the garage where it can fight for my attention. Found out this morning I may be adding an E30 M3 to the collection as well

[BOZ22N]

A E30 willbe sick

[tweety bird]

nice!!!

did you hear?

you've been approved.

You've been going through the E30 erotica thread on PF haven't you? lol

details on the M3?

[Roy]

I am trying to pump up the wage offered for a US project. The first thing I will be doing is getting an E30 M3 as a daily. Its a two year contract so have the opportunity to do two private imports from the US

[TTT]

living the dream.

PS - I will be needing your old R32 intercooler piping (cold side) if it is available.

[Roy]

nice!!!

did you hear?

you've been approved.

For what?

As for living the dream? I wish! I hate having to travel to earn a dollar in my industry. In the last 10 years I have been OS for 4-5 years of it in countries most people would be happy to holiday in for 10days Living the dream would be a job, a house and my cars. Not a career, bad health and impulsive automotive buys to make up for everything being pretty shitty

[tweety bird]

here roy.

so...........

what two private imports are you looking to get?

[Roy]

Really depends on funds. I really need to stop buying mid price shit boxes and stop the cash burn on cars. At the moment I am thinking E30 EVO III M3, and a Viper of C4 ZR1. Love to get a ZO6 but need to get something I will flog off and think a Viper would be the way to go. Will keep the M3, and maybe the ZR1....but yeh. Will have to consider a cheapish car I can keep or a car I can flog for a small profit to help pay for a mancave. (which is the main reason for going OS with work...try and get some cash together because of stupi real estate prices)

[tweety bird]

i like the c4, which z06 where you looking at c5 or c6?

c5 zo6 seem to go for about the same as c4 zr1's, ($20.000 to $30.000) so depends on which one you like.

vipers don't seem to be easy to sell in aus, but you can always drive it till you sell it.

have you seen these?

[TTT]

what state are you going to settle back in to after your tour of duty Roy?

[TTT]

Z06 for sure..

drag radials, 1.6 60', 10.4 @ 134

it's popping a mono..

[tweety bird]

that be a c6 and it's worth viper money, but the extra 100hp over a c4 zr1 and the c5 z06 would be very tempting.............to roy.

[Roy]

Well, my motto is money is only important if you don't die tomorrow!

So The E30 is a pretty much sure thing. If I can get a Sagaris as RHD car into the US and it is counted as a private import with regards to bringing it back to Aus then that may be the go. But odds are it will be an E30 to keep and perhaps something else as something to try and import and turn a profit...so dont really care what it is as long as its fun to drive/own for 12 months in the US and doesnt cost a fortune in parts when I break it at whatever tracks I get to...of course this is all assuming i can keep my Russian bride employed and bringing in the coin
